Jason Hawes Opens Up: A Candid Conversation About Recent Events and What's Coming Next
“The moment you start hiding things from the people who've trusted you, you've lost something that's very hard to get back — and that's never been how I operate.”
— Jason Hawes
Sometimes the most important conversations aren't about what's happening inside a haunted location — they're about what's happening in the real world around us. Tonight at 8:30 PM EST, I'm sitting down with all of you to talk openly about the things that have been unfolding lately, and I want you to be part of that conversation. Pull up a chair, because this one matters to me.
I've spent the better part of my life walking into dark rooms, setting up equipment, and trying to make sense of things that don't always have easy answers. That's the job, and honestly, it's a calling I wouldn't trade for anything. But every so often, you have to step back from the investigations, step away from the EMF readers and the thermal cameras, and just talk — human to human. That's exactly what tonight is about.
A lot has been happening lately. I know many of you have noticed changes, whether it's in how we're operating, what we're focusing on, or just the general energy surrounding everything we do here. I've always believed that transparency is everything. The moment you start hiding things from the people who've supported you and trusted you, you've lost something that's very hard to get back. I built TAPS on honesty — on the principle that we go in skeptical, we look for every rational explanation first, and we only acknowledge something as potentially unexplained when we've exhausted every other possibility. That same standard applies to how I communicate with this community.
So tonight, I'm not coming to you with a polished script or a highlight reel. I'm coming to you the same way I'd come to a location for the first time — with open eyes, an open mind, and a commitment to getting to the truth. There are things I want to address directly, questions I know you've been sitting with, and some thoughts about the road ahead that I think will genuinely excite you. This community has been the backbone of everything I've built, and you deserve to hear it straight from me, not filtered through speculation or secondhand information.
I've always said that the paranormal field requires patience and discipline. You can't rush to a conclusion just because something feels dramatic in the moment. The same is true here. Some of what I'll be talking about tonight has been building for a while, and I want to give it the weight and the careful conversation it deserves. Whether you've been following me since the early days of Ghost Hunters or you just found this channel last week, tonight's livestream is for you. Come ready to ask questions, because I'll be taking them. That's the whole point — this isn't a monologue, it's a dialogue, and the best investigations I've ever done were always a team effort.
Tonight isn't about evidence review or EVP sessions — it's about something equally important: trust, community, and honesty. I'll see you at 8:30 PM EST, and I promise to give you the same straight talk I've always tried to bring to every investigation I've ever walked into.
